It's one of the biggest acts of religious observance in the world. Across the globe, 1.6 billion Muslims have been marking the month of Ramadan by fasting, praying and giving to charity. Now, in Kent, non-Muslims are being encouraged to find out more about Ramadan, and to share in its ancient customs. Rahena Adeleye challenged her friend Sujata Setia to join her in observing the fast.

Muslims across our region are celebrating Eid - the festival that marks the end of Ramadan. People have been fasting during daylight hours for the last month to remember those less fortunate than themselves and re-focus on their faith.

This year, the charity Diabetes UK is highlighting the dangers and assuring people that they can still follow their faith. The interviewees in Matin Dowse's report are: Nadeem Iqbal who has type 1 Diabetes, and Jenny Patel from Diabetes UK.
